Monthly Favourites #36 - October

5 November 2013

Considering its been the longest month on record, October has finally been and gone. For once this month has been a one of firsts, as all the products are new. Looking at the way I take my photos I honestly can't wait to have a proper blogging/photograph area in the new house. Anyway onto the favourites

Leo Bancroft Beautifully Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner - I bought these while in Glasgow for FABB and I now know my local Tesco stocks this range. I have to admit this is by far the best shampoo/conditioner I've used for my brown hair. I've reviewed it already (link) in more detail.

Lush Mask of Magaminty* - Buchanan Street Lush were one of the sponsors of FABB Glasgow and provided each blogger with a small goody bag and in it was this. My skin over the last month has been shocking - due to a combination of poor diet and illness and this is working wonders on making my skin look back to normal. I'm going to do a full in depth review of this soon, however next time you're in Lush go and have a look.

Eyeko Black Eyeliner - a magazine freebie and I can see why so many people rave about this eyeliner. Its blacker than black and doesn't budge on a night out. Normally I have to top up my eyeliner throughout the night, however after using this I didn't. During the day it can withstand me rubbing my eyes, so its definitely a winner in my book.

Topshop Lip Bullet in Covert - I literally picked this up a few days before the end of the month after reading a few reviews. I love love love the colour of this (tangerine pink) however I'm not too keen on the drying formula of it. Key to overcome this is to use lipbalm prior to putting it on. For £8 you can't be robbed for a good high street lipstick.

Marc Jacobs Honey - a light floral perfume, ideal to be worn during the day. The staying power of this is quite good, considering I felt I always had to reapply Daisy a few times a day. I don't use this for a night out as I don't find it strong enough.

Derma V10 Vasaline - as I've been ill for a large chunk of the month this has been my saviour to preventing the dreaded red/sore nose from excessive blowing. Normally you can get these in a pack of two from Home Bargains.
